I really do.
Yeah.....thats a fair assumption for *you* to make really. The song has quite a bit of relavence historically and for those who lived through those times. But it is quite true that its relevance is mostly diminished with time even though echoes of it can still be heard from time to time.
If it's relevance has diminished over time, then it can't be that important. As opposed to the likes of "Iron Man" or "Paranoid" of course, which have not faded in any way.
What about some > other Kansas tunes like "Glimpse Of Home", "Loner", or "The Pinnacle"?
Good songs, but for those of us who lived through those times they were MOS. Actually, this is where your POV is usefull because you can see the groups whole catalogue simultaneously whereas we older folks tend to view the same catalogue temporaly. Have you ever noticed this effect where people like a bands first few albums immensely and their later albums somewhat less so? Thats where we old folks are at a disadvantage at least as far as decades old music is concerned.
I have noticed what you mention. I have a question however. Is change a static thing?
> >Supertramp > > Blah.
Ever try Crime Of The Century or Crisis What Crisis?
Actually no. But blah.
> >Rush > > Very solid band.
Way back when I hated Rush and Zepplin with a purple passion. I was wrong.
Rush is not an easy band to get into. But when you do, the music speaks for itself.
> >Aerosmith > > One of the greatest Rock bandsever. Tyler is an amazing vocalist.
Joe Perry is one of the best at inventing guitar hooks. Really oustanding at times.
Ok, Perry himself admits that he's not a "guitarists guitarist", but to brand him as "one of the best at inventing guitar hooks"...ah...no...
> >Lynard Skynard > > I love Skynard. Also seen them in 97. The bass player nearly spit on me!
I hate Skynard, always have. Good band though.
Too country?
> >Horslips > > Heard of, I think, but never heard.
You like Tull?
I had a mind to look them up but I never. Seriously, I love Tull, but have never heard Horslips. Care to tell me a little?
I could go on like this forever you know! <G>
